Ever played one of those NES games that feels like a forgotten gem? Legend of the Ghost Lion is exactly that—a weird little action-adventure where you play as Maria, a girl hunting for her missing parents in some creepy caves. She’s got a spear, a backpack full of mystery, and zero patience for whatever’s lurking in the dark.

The controls are classic NES jank (Z to attack, arrows to move—you know the drill), but there’s something oddly charming about poking around these caverns. You’ll find random items, dodge traps, and probably die a few times figuring out what actually helps versus what’s just pixelated decoration. Pro tip: save often unless you enjoy replaying the same 10 minutes over and over.

If you’re into obscure retro stuff, this one’s got that "I can’t believe this exists" vibe. Just don’t expect it to hold your hand—half the fun is stumbling into weird secrets. Also, yes, the title makes zero sense until about halfway through. You’ll see.
